I don’t believe a lot in social networks, but I think that Instagram together with Pinterest are the only ones that can eventually make you money.

I am not using Instagram a lot for marcodiversi.com. I have other accounts with a lot of followers but most of them are in the adult industry haha!

Feel free to follow @marcodiversi if you want too, I might start posting pictures one daysoon.

For the ones that don’t know it, Instagram was sold to Facebook the 9th, of April 2012 for $1 billion: $300 million in cash.

In fact, if you are going to one of your Facebook pages you will be able to see that Instagram integrates perfectly with Facebook within the FB page settings and you can reply to comments from there and so on.

What this means is that if you are usingInstagram for business you will need also a nice Facebook account and page.

Best Techniques And Methods To Increase Instagram Followers Organically

#1 – Do Not Ever Buy Followers Or Use A 3rd Party Website.

I am not the best expert in recommendingautomationsoftware or websites that sell Instagramlikes or followers.

But as for my experience, if you decide to buy likes or followers from someone that promises you heaps of followers you can prepare your self to trash your Instagram profile pretty soon.

These companies are going to sell you what are called ‘ghost followers‘. These followers are people that don’t use Instagram on a daily base. Mainly from 3rd world countries and they got some money just to have a profile that will never create any engagement.

Instagram and Facebook, which are the same thing have complicatedalgorithms that are able to figure out the quality of your profile and the percentage of ghost followers.

If you buy followers or try to cheat, your profile will pass in second class.

#8 – Connect Instagram To A Business Profile

I should have put this at the beginning of the list. But if you go into your Instagramsettings on your mobile you will be able to see a business profile option.

This is mandatory and you need to have a business profile if you want to rock.

Having a business profile will allow you to have:

email.

directions.

phone.

tabs featured in your profile! Most of all detailedanalytics for your profile and ability to reply to comments from your Facebook account.

If you don’t know what analytics is, you should.

Basically, analytics will allow you to see everything that happens on your profile, from impressions, what cities are looking at your profile and pictures and most of all at what time there is a peak of interested and engaged.

Based on what niche your profile is,different it will be the time of the engaged.

If you have pictures of modern art, people will interactdifferently compared to a profile talking about sexy gals.

There will be more people interacting at night or evening for the sex gals profile and based on the time zones and cities that are engaging the most on your profile you will be able to figure out the perfect posting time.

#9 – Consider Some Tools That Will Follow And Unfollow People

This is something you can also avoid but that still works fine. There are many tools that are automating the follow/unfollow process.

Something interesting of these tools is that you will be able to followpeople in your niche and then if they don’t follow you backto unfollow them in the long run.

Something annoying about Instagram is that you can not follow more than 5000 people unless your followers/following ration is at least 2/3.

If you have followers/following ratio greater than 2/3 you can follow 7000 users. 7000 users are the maximum number you will ever be able to follow.

So you must unfollow people once you reached 7000 following in order to follow more and potentially grow your network.

I am not an expert in this at all, so I will pass the voice to Fred Harrington and his list of best Instagram bots to use in 2018.

#10 – Interact With Live Sessions, Stories, And Videos

We are not at the point where we can touch our followers or having a VR session with them. But it will not surprise me a lot if this will happen in the near future.

As it is now at our age, you can interact with your audience with videos, live sessions, and stories.

People like to see what their idols or friends are doing in their personal life. And even more, they love to touch base their deep secrets when they see that the person they are following goes live or postsvideos or life stories.

This is proof that you are a real person and that you love to interact with them and make them happy.

It is so difficult to actively post for your followers when you have tons of work to do. I used to become so irritated by watching my followers decreasing day by day due to my inconsistency.Wizboost can help me in scheduling future posts that I want be posted from my account on my desired time. This tool made it so easy for me as now I can do whatever I need to do without thinking of anything related to instagram.
